The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

[Region 1][Map 25][Location 3a] - Merrymeet

So now that it is becoming clearly evident that I have nothing to do with my spare time other than sit at my computer, I present the halfling village of Merrymeet in Callie's Thicket. See the wiki for details.

These are just so cool, the style is very nice. I keep trying to rep ya but I can't keep up Excellent stuff.

The border's great, just add a bit of taupe to make it look like a canvas and it will look like it's sitting on an easel over in the corner of my room.

I like it. The map seems to have a natural feel. As to the layout I reckon the distance between the buildings is a very subjective thing. There may be many reasons why the buildings are grouped together.
